Abstract

A panel (1), in particular a floor panel (1), comprises at least a decorated side (5), which is provided with a pigment (7) for creating a lustrous effect to the appearance of the decorated side (5). The decorated side (5) may comprise a decoration surface (3) and a substantially transparent protective top layer (4) covering the decoration surface (3). The top layer (4) can be provided with at least wear-resistant particles (6) having limited or non-translucent properties, wherein the pigment (7) is embedded in the top layer (4).

Description

  • The invention relates to a panel, in particular a floor panel, comprising at least a decorated side.
  • Such a panel is well-known in the state of the art. In particular, floor panels are often provided with a decorated side imitating natural materials, such as a wood pattern of genuine wood planks.
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a panel which imitates natural materials better.
  • In order to achieve this object the decorated side is provided with a pigment for creating a lustrous effect to the appearance of the decorated side.
  • Due to this feature the panel obtains a lustrous or glittering appearance, such as can be observed with some natural materials, such as wood planks.
  • In a practical embodiment the decorated side comprises a decoration surface and a substantially transparent protective top layer covering the decoration surface, wherein the top layer is provided with at least wear-resistant particles having limited or non-translucent properties, and the pigment is embedded in the top layer.
  • Embedding the pigment in the top layer is advantageous, because if the pigment were provided below the protective top layer, the wear-resistant particles in the top layer might reduce or even eliminate the effect of the pigment. The wear-resistant particles present in the protective top layer may be aluminium oxide or corundum, for example. This type of particles typically tends to reduce the lustrous effect of the pigment if this would be provided below the protective top layer. It is noted, that the decoration surface may be formed on a decoration layer laminated onto the panel, but a decorative pattern directly printed on an upper side of the panel is also conceivable.
  • The pigment may be such a material that it provides a metallic effect to the appearance of the decorated side of the panel. This may give an optical effect comparable with that of a metallic paint of a car body.
  • It is advantageous when the pigment is a non-metallic pigment, because it minimizes the risk of oxidation, thus leading to a stable optical effect of the pigment. Such a pigment is Iriodin®, for example, commercialized by the company Merck.
  • The top layer may comprise a paper sheet impregnated with a resin, and the pigment is disposed in the resin. The resin is, for example, a melamine-based resin. This can be implemented in an existing production method rather simple. Furthermore, it provides the opportunity to distribute the pigment evenly within the resin resulting in a uniformly distributed lustrous effect. The pigment is not necessarily distributed homogeneously within the top layer, but may have a higher or lower concentration within certain areas. It is conceivable that the wear-resistant particles are also provided in the resin, which may further improve an even distribution of both the pigment and the wear-resistant particles within the resin.
  • The wear-resistant particles may be disposed in pores of the paper. This is advantageous since the pigment may be disposed between the pores which are filled with the wear-resistant particles hence avoiding disturbance of the optical effect of the pigment by the particles.
  • Alternatively, the top layer comprises a paper sheet impregnated with a resin, and the paper sheet is provided with the pigment. In this case the pigment is not added to the resin before impregnating the paper sheet.
  • A practical material the wear-resistant particles can be made of, is for example corundum. This appears to have good properties against wear.
  • The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a panel, including the steps of: providing a panel having at least one side to be decorated; applying a decoration pattern on the side; applying a protective top layer onto the side having the decoration pattern, wherein a pigment is added to the top layer.
  • In an advantageous way the protective top layer is prepared by providing a paper sheet and impregnating the paper sheet by a resin containing the pigment, before applying the protective top layer onto the side. This is a relatively simple method to obtain the panel such as described hereinbefore.
  • The resin may also contain wear-resistant particles so as to provide the opportunity to obtain an even distribution of both the pigment and the wear-resistant particles within the top layer.
  • The invention will hereafter be elucidated with reference to the drawing showing an embodiment of the invention by way of example.
  • Fig. 1 is a very schematic cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a panel according to the invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cross-section of an embodiment of a panel 1 according to the invention, in this case a floor panel 1. The panel 1 comprises a core 2, a decoration layer 3 and a protective top layer or overlay 4. The core 2 may comprise one or more layers of MDF, HDF, HTSP, PVC, composites or the like, and possibly a balancing layer. It is noted that the core 2 and the layers 3, 4 such as shown in Fig. 1 have different scales in practice. The layers 3, 4 will generally be much thinner than the core 2. The decoration layer 3 is provided with a surface decoration which imitates natural materials, such as wood.
  • The decoration layer 3 includes a laminate of paper layers impregnated with a resin. It is also possible that a decoration pattern is directly applied onto the core 2, such that the decoration layer 3 is formed by a coating or paint or the like. In any case an upper surface of the decoration layer 3 forms a decoration surface of the panel.
  • The embodiment of Fig. 1 has an upper surface 5, which is seen as the decorated side of the panel 1 by an observer. The protective top layer 4 covers the decoration layer 3 and is substantially transparent. This means that the decoration layer 3 can be seen through the protective top layer 4. The protective top layer 4 is provided with wear-resistant particles 6, such as illustrated by squares in Fig. 1. These particles 6 may be made of aluminium oxide or corundum or the like, and have limited or non-translucent properties. Nevertheless, the particles 6 have such a size and are distributed within the protective top layer 4 such that the decoration layer 3 can still be observed through the protective top layer 4.
  • In the embodiment of the panel 1 a pigment 7 is embedded in the top layer 4. The pigment is illustrated by circles in Fig. 1. The pigment 7 creates a lustrous effect to the appearance of the upper side 5 of the panel 1. It may imitate a metallic-like glittering effect of real wood planks, for example. It is advantageous when the pigment 7 is a non-metallic pigment, since it minimizes the risk of oxidation thereof. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 the top layer 4 comprises a paper sheet 9 which is impregnated with a resin 10. The pigment 7 as well as the wear-resistant particles 6 are embedded in the resin. In practice, after impregnating the paper sheet 9 with resin 10 it is laminated onto the decoration layer 3 of the panel 1 by means of elevated pressure and temperature.
  • It appears that the lustrous effect due to the pigment 7 in the top layer 4 is improved with respect to the condition in which the pigment is disposed below the top layer 4 since the wear-resistant particles 6 may disturb the lustrous effect of the pigment 7 in this case.
  • In an alternative embodiment the wear-resistant particles are disposed in pores of the paper sheet 9 (not shown). In this case the pigment 7 is added to the resin 10 and impregnated to the paper 9 which contains the particles 7.
  • In still another alternative embodiment the top layer 4 may comprise a paper sheet 9 impregnated with a resin 10, wherein the paper sheet 9 is provided with the pigment 7 (not shown). In this case the wear-resistant particles 6 can be added to the resin 10 with which the paper sheet 9 is subsequently impregnated.
  • From the foregoing it may be clear that the panel according to the invention provides a decorated side having a lustrous effect, hence imitating natural materials better.
  • The invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawing and the embodiments described hereinbefore, which may be varied in different manners within the scope of the claims and their technical equivalents. It is, for example, possible to provide the pigment below the top layer, in particular in case of applying wear-resistant particles which have good translucent properties or in case of no or a low density of wear-resistant particles. Furthermore, a paper sheet may be omitted in the top layer; a top layer formed by a coating containing wear-resistant particles and pigment is conceivable. At least a part of the decoration layer may also be provided on the top layer or overlay. Besides, the top layer may be embossed, possibly in register with a pattern on the decoration layer.
